Mood for Wood are international workshops aimed for students of design degrees interested in actual project realisation. During the workshops, students, with the help of recognised architects and designers from all over Europe and experienced carpenters, independently create urban furniture for selected locations in Poznań.
Design teams work on a specific location, meet with users of the space and get to know their needs in order tackle issues related to the particular place. The workshops are accompanied by additional events: debates, architecture walks, film screenings, and lectures. So far, architects and designers from all over Europe who shared their experience with the participants include Snohetta, TOPOTEK 1, Hello Wood, Zdenek Franek or the artist Iza Rutkowska.
In 2015 the Hello Wood team built an installation into a community garden. The project proposed a modular structure that could work as a “pretext” for different activities. It was a structure made of triangles that can be easily modified, enlarged and copied to other parts of the garden – easy to build, maintain and adapt. It could be used as a stage, a roof providing a shade, a skeleton for plants, structure for garden lighting, poles to hang out hammocks, etc.
